1t has been an open secret for some months
back that number of bull calves descended
from the State College herd which was
slaughtered on account of the discovery of
tuberculosis are stih in existence down in
Hancock county. When the herd was dis
troyed Dr. Bailey wanted to kill these
calves, but Mr.. T. A. Gilbert, member of the
cattle commission, thought as there was
no positive evidence that they had the dis
ease, the commissioners would be exceeding
their powers in ordering their destruction.
The Senate recently called for the report of
the majority of the commissioners, which
Mr.. Gilbert refused to sign, and that report
which was drawn by DR.. Bailey contains the
facts about these calves. tuberculosis is
easily communicated to man from the milk of
cows afflicted with it, and therefore the de-
struction of these animals, which, if they do
not at present have the disease, are predis-
posed to it, is imperatiyely demanded. 1t
would be little less than a crime to allow
them to live and propagate the disease.
The Portland daily press., 1887-02-02

There is nothing in Lord Churchilrs latest
speech in the House of Commons to give any
sanction TO the assertion that he is drifting
toward Radicalism, but very much to con-
vict him Of sympathy with ultra -Toryism. He
praised Sir Hicks Beach's Irish poll
cy, denounced the idea of setting up parlia-
ment of any kind in Ireland, and hoped the
Conservatives would soon be able to stand
alone. His contempt for the Conservative
Unionist coalition was not disguised, and
it is evident that the present cabinet
will not get much support from him. He has
personal reasons, however for his feelings
on this point. He must still be reckoned a
Tory

The strike is gradually growing verse.
The number of men included in it is con-
stantly increasing, and of course the scarcity
of coal must increase with the consumption
of that on hand. So far as can be seen a
settlement is no nearer than it was on the
first of January, when the strike began. The
companies still firmly refuse to accede to
the demands of the handlers, and the latter
decline to abate one jot or little of their de-
mands. Industries which give support to
thousands Of families are stopping because
Of the scarcity of coal, and the price of this
article is constantly going up. OF course
this condition of things cannot long exist
without creating severe and widespread dis
tress. Some sort Of compromise which
will end the unfortunate and perilous stu
alton of things is imperatively demanded.

Blackstone says he didn't go to church for

There seems to be good deal of inconsist-
ency in the performance of the country
towns in this county. On the one hand
they are rushing in petitions praying the
legislature to put the whole cost Of the fer
ry landing on to Portland on the ground that
it lies in this city, and is principally for the
benefit of Portland; and on the other they
are petitioning the legislature to compel
Portland to maintain bridges that lie miles
beyond her limits, and that chiefly benefit
the towns wherein they exist Portland
pays nearly two-thirds of the county tax
already. The country towns seem to think
she should pay the whole of it.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A GOOD DEFINITION.


Bangor Commercial.
Proper definition of a strike-an arrange
ment by which hundred men can throw a
thousand men out of work, and rob many
thousands Of women and children of their
means of support.
A SUBJECT FOR LEGISLATION.
North American.
A Maine agricultural journal predicts an
unprecedented apple crop this year This in
so rigid prohibition State will doubtless re-
ceive the careful consideration of the author
tiles.
THE WEATHER BUREAU.
Hartford Courant.
A signal corps in time of war has nothing
to do with a weather-reporting corps in time
of peace, and the army gains nothing in eff
ficiency for war by this sort of training in
time of peace. The army has its own duties,
and whether it is large or small, ought not to
be burdened with those outside of its field.
There seems no good reason why it should
want to retain service foreign to it; and we
believe also that the service itself will be
better developed and extended by the organi-
zation OF civil weather bureau.
AN OFFICE FOR COL. JAMES.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat
The story that Jesse James is still living
In the wilds of Arizona, and that his assas-
Slnation was all ruse, must be dismissed as
amere invention; but Col. Frank James still
survives. and we beg to suggest that, in view
OF his past experience in the railroad busi-
ness, anc his known ability to curtail corpo-
ration profits, his Democratic friends and
admirers in Missouri-the Democratic party
OF the State, in sh0rt-ought TO recommend
him to the President for appointment as one
of the Commissioners under the interstate
commerce law.
The Portland daily press., 1887-02-02

The President is still wrestling with the
interstate commerce bill. He evidently
wants to veto it, but doesn't quite dare to.
Attorney General Garland seems to be hard
at work trying to convince himself that
when he declared the bill unconstitutional
he was wrong, and Secretary Bayard would
probably feel more like advising the Presi-
dent to sign it If he had not over and over
agBin denounced the bill in the Senate.

1t is difficult to see how the Chicago plot,
If it had been carried out, would have bene-
fitted the condemned Anarchists. Being
blown to pieces with dynamite cannot be
more agreeable death than being hanged by
the neck, and the consolation Of knowing
that the sheriff was blown up along with
them would have been very slight. The
plot must have been gotten up for the edifca-
tion of the Anarchists outside the Jail rather
than for those inside.

NOTES FROM THE BALL FIELD.
ODay conclus1vely showed his effectiveness in
the box yesterday. The Chicagos were unable to
hit him to any extent, but many Of them were not
given an opportunity to do so. Although they
were credited with eleven hits the ball was landed
safely only four times. ODay Is still wild in his
delivery, and should do everything in his power to
regain control of the ball. He evidently thought
the umpire held too tight rein over him yester-
day, but In reality he was treated With good
deal OF consideration.
When O'Day gets into good form again, as he
surely WILL II he is little more careful and keeps
an unruft1ed temper, we will have three pitchers
that will be the envy OF the whole league.
OBrfen was the only man in the home team who
had zero in the base hit column What terrific
batter he would be could he keep the ball down.
ODay surprised body with his stick work.
All our pitchers are becoming hitters.
Dealy caught well yesterday and showed a
marked improvement in his throwing. He batted
freely with the rest OF the gang, and ran like q
deer
Crane will probably succeed Baker as the lucky
man OF the TEN. II any ball is going TO be muffed
by the opposing 1eders IL is sure to be Cranes. II
ne gets On the bases the chances are in favor OF
his coming home. Carroll struck out twice before
he found the ball. When he did guage 1t there was
lively running in the outfleld.
Paul Hines Is In his old form once more, and is
playing ball like Hines.
O!What sluggerS we are! II we can only do
some OF 1t when the Detroits are here, we will
MAKE our reputation.

Continuing his testimony before the Pacific
Railroad Commission In New York yesterday AFTER
noon, Jay Gould told how he was fooled by Oliver
Ames and President Pomeroy into purchasing the
central branch Of the Union Pacific He was build
ing the Junction City and Fort Kearney Road par
alel TO the central branch, and Ames and Pome-
roy came TO New York 10 see him and sell him the
road. They took Mr.. Gould back with them TO
show him over the road and he said he was very
much impressed with the amount OF business
being transacted. At every station they passed
long freight trains, and were continually side
tracked 10 allow trains 10 pass. lie bought the
road, but found afterward that the central branch
people had held back The freight for about ten
days before his visit and then rushed all over the
road at once. The rent paid the Union Pacific Tor
the Central Branch last year was over 500, 600,
the entire net earnings OF the road.
II may have paid too much for this road. but
don't think was taken In. You pay more for a
ruby than diamond, and more for a diamond
than piece OF glass. For instance, I paid $50
entire road"
The entire list OF Union Pacific branch roads
was here read over TO Mr.. Gould, and he denied
having an interest In any other than those OF
which he had spoken. Commissioner Littler laugh
ingly said: .'These must be the only railroads you
are not interested in, Mr.. Could" The railroad mag
nate smiled, as be replied: "Oh, I'm givingyou my
whole hand" The examination being resumed,
the witness said he thought the last visit he made
TO Washington on Union Pacific business was at
the time the Thurman bill was under consideration.
He afterward remembered, however, that he WAS
In Wash ngton after that. Il know or no occasion
when stock bonds or other securities or the Union
Pacific used TO influence legislation In favor
OF that road" derantiy added the witness; and
don't think such an occasion ever existed" On
his attention being called 10 letter Of his In
which he recommended the employment or q Mr..
PACING Mt. Could explained that he presumed
Ordway's name was inserted at the request OF

CITY AND DISTRICT.
WASHINGTON KEEPS 1T UP.
Another Crushing Defeat Administered
TO the Chicago Champions.

The Nationals would seem to have a mortgage
on the Chicago team. They have administered
three crushing defeats to them and II they can
secure victory to-day their record Will be
phenomenal one. In every game since their re-
turn the washington players have pounded the
ball with astonishing success When they once
have struck batting streak they have carried
their opponents before them like q cyclone. II
they can only continue such work they will land
several notches higher In the championship rec
ord They have already passed Indianapolis and
Chicago. and are dangerously close to Pittsburgs
heels, having won the same number of games and
lost but one more. Yesterdays score was IL to 4.
ODay and Dealy occupied the points for the home
team with success.
The Chicagos secured but four base hits during
the game, and made great many errors. The
Nationals, on the other hand, pounded out hit
after hit, until even deet-foOted Sunday weary
credited to the home team and they had but one
error. The same clubs play again to-day.
OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY.
The DetroitS captured another game from the
Phillies, 8 to Z although they had a narrow es-
cape. The Detroits played in great good luck both
at the bat and In the field. Eight OF their fifteen
several miraculous plays in the field, which saved
them from defeat.
Boston kept pace with the leaders by beating
PtttSburg, too, and the Indianapolis tail-enderS
defeated New York. ID to8.
In the American Association the Athletics sue
won at Cincinnati, 6 to 3. Baltimore pulled VIC
tory from Louisville by score OF to s. and at
CieVeiand the CleyelandS defeated the Nets to 5.
Following Is the standing OF the clubs to date:
